Couple artsy things
Jun. 4th, 2009 06:48 amWhile trying to find the artist behind some bird banners flying on Calgary's bridges, I discovered that she also does fantastic portraits. Check out her and scroll down a little bit to find HST's.
Another portrait can be found on Etsy by Nathan Manire. I'm not sure about the disembodied fingers, but OK. Etsy is like an eBay for handmade items and crafts, and amongst the cowls and Scrabble pendants, there are often truly original things like this. In fact, a search for "Hunter S. Thompson" on Etsy pulls up more cheap than unique actually. I never know how to feel about people that grab an image off the web, tweak it a little and then sell it to put it on a hoodie :S Why not at least use it for reference and make something more original like Nathan? 10 years ago my attitude would have been a little different, oddly enough.
